Tuesday, March 12, 2024 – Former Chelsea coach, Maurizio Sarri has reportedly resigned from his role at Lazio after his side suffered a fourth straight defeat in all competitions.
Lazio were beaten 2-1 by in their Serie A clash on
Monday, their 12th defeat in 28 games, leaving the team ninth in the table.
SportMediaSet, via the Sun, has reported that Sarri has
walked from his role after the latest setback to their campaign.
The report adds that the club have accepted his resignation

player Tommaso Rocchi, the club's youth team boss and sporting director Igli

Sarri joined Lazio in 2021 and had a win percentage of 47.45
per cent after winning 65 matches, drawing 30, and losing 42 of his 137 games

triumph. The club still decided to sack him that summer and replace him with
Frank Lampard.
